Dietary Phosphate (None)

Target: None
Molecular classification: Mineral, Electrolyte

Overview

Dietary phosphate refers to the inorganic form of phosphorus consumed through food and supplements. In the body, phosphorus is almost entirely present as phosphate, a vital mineral and electrolyte essential for numerous physiological processes, including bone structure, energy metabolism, and cell signaling. Its homeostasis is regulated by intestinal absorption, renal excretion, and bone remodeling, influenced by hormones such as PTH, FGF23, and vitamin D.
